Reuters:
A U.S. appeals court on Friday overturned a $120 million jury verdict against Samsung, finally handing the South Korean smartphone maker a significant win in its longstanding patent feud with top rival Apple.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington, D.C., said Samsung Electronics Co Ltd did not infringe Apple’s “quick links” patent, and that two other patents covering the iPhone’s slide-to-unlock and auto-correct features were invalid. The court also said Apple was liable for infringing one of Samsung’s patents.
A spokeswoman for Apple declined to comment, while a representative for Samsung said she did not have an immediate comment on the decision.
This result is incomprehensible to me. Here’s a link to the decision if you want some depressing reading.
Insane.
I believe everyone in Washington has been infected with the IMBECILE virus! Vigilance all, it appears to be spreading rapidly!!
Let’s just chuck out the old, stodgy patent system. It’s obvious its serving no one.
Perhaps, its time for Apple to hire a few lobbyists?
Lawyers never created anything and they prove that again and again.
If Apple can appeal, then they will. This decision can’t be allowed to stand.
I wish these two would just shake hands like Apple and Microsoft did and agree to stop suing each other.
Patents, specifically software, are meaningless apparently.
Even Microsoft was never run by the sort of career criminals heading up Samsung.
how would it serve apples interested to do so?

It would let them focus their attention and resources on something more important.
Strictly, there’s really no such thing as a software patent.
How would $120 million help Apple? That’s nothing to them
I can’t believe this thing is still going
